LibreOffice monthly recap: July 2018
There’s a lot going on in the LibreOffice community, in the lead up to LibreOffice 6.1, in development, documentation, design, QA, translations and much more. Here’s a summary of news and updates in July…
- Preparations for LibreOffice 6.1 continued, with the final Bug Hunting Session on July 6. Users around the world helped to test new features and report bugs so that they can be fixed before the final release – thanks to everyone who took part!
- The Taiwanese LibreOffice community created an awesome promotional video for LibreOffice Viewer. Check it out below – and download the app from the Play Store or F-Droid. If you have some Android coding experience, build the latest version and help us to improve it!

- TDF published its Annual Report for 2017. This describes activities in and around the LibreOffice and Document Liberation projects, and provides additional information on how donations to TDF have been used. Read it here.
- Later in the month, we described how automated tools and the volunteer contribution of security specialists are constantly improving the quality of LibreOffice’s source code. Check out the blog post for full details.
